Day 33 15 miles total 428
After too much wine the night before, the day was a bit of a plod.
Every day there are different aches and pains, today my feet felt battered.
After taking a short-cut I caught up with Mikele, and we walked the rest of the morning together, getting to Aroue by1pm.
The gite communal was grim, brown paint and military. The village shop had closed permanently. It was too far to go on to the next suitable accomadation.
So we walked back a km to a private gite that was brilliant.
With camping, evening meal and breakfast €20.
I got friendly with a Danish woman, Hannah who was delighted to be able to have a conversation in English. So was Nina, a Russian woman who spoke heavily accented English and virtually no French.
It was so good to talk with Hannah, as she see's walking as dynamic meditation, as I do. Most of the French are old and conventional, so to meet a kindred spirit was wonderful. Hannah camps and still only carry's 6.5kg.
The food wad wonderful. Although I only paid to camp, I slept in the salon area with the doors open, it was a bit hot first, but warmer than the tent, the temperature was 6 degrees in the morning. Autumn is coming on.
